Kemps

Kemps, a.k.a. Scenics, is a card game played with 2-6 teams of two using a standard deck with Jokers removed.

Each player gets a partner and sets up secret signals to tell the other when to say "Kemp." The goal of the game is to get four of the same card, then get their partner to say "Kemp." If someone has four of the same card and their partner says, "Kemp," then that group gets a letter (starting with K, then E, and M, then finally P). Whichever group spells "K-E-M-P" first wins.

There is a twist to this game, however; if a person suspects another person having four of the same cards, they can yell, "Stop Kemp" (or "Counter"). If the suspected person does, in fact, have four of a kind, that group loses a letter. If they don't have four of a kind, the group who yelled "Stop Kemp" loses a letter.
